In depth

Verdict

A winner here last year, Quantum Cat has been off the track since disappointing at Newmarket in April and TO CATCH A THIEF is preferred on his first outing since June. Gelded since placing at Leicester, this extra distance should suit the Haggas charge. The remaining pair have shown nothing so far and are hard to recommend.
